You don’t know what will happen tomorrow – Anthony Baffoe on contesting for GFA presidency

Former Ghana international Anthony Baffoe has expressed that he currently has no immediate intentions to vie for the Ghana Football Association (GFA) presidency. However, he has not completely dismissed the possibility of doing so in the future. Baffoe, who has a wealth of experience in football administration, had previously held the position of Deputy General Secretary at the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

In an interview with 3Sports, the founder and General Secretary of the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG), Baffoe stated that he had previously declined several offers to run for the GFA presidency. He clarified that the position was not among his current aspirations, but recognized that he could not predict what might unfold in the near future.

"I’ve said no on multiple occasions. It doesn’t drive me, but I don’t know what is going to happen in six months or 12 months or 24 months. For now I don’t see myself there, but you never know what tomorrow," Baffoe said. Baffoe, who was born in Germany and played for the Black Stars between 1991 and 1994, made his comments in anticipation of the upcoming GFA presidential election set to take place in October 2027.

This election will decide the leadership of the association for the ensuing term, with the incumbent president, Kurt Okraku, facing mounting pressure to step down following Ghana's disappointing start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. The senior national team currently sits at the bottom of Group C with no points and will aim to reassess their qualification prospects during their forthcoming games against Somalia in Accra, scheduled for November.
